Mytek Digital - Manhattan DAC II - Quad-DSD DAC

Worth the investment

Posted by David Moore on 28th Oct 2019

I could write a flowery paragraph explaining in detail all of the sonic characteristics this unit delivers but we have all read many professional reviews that describe low end junk and state of the art in about the same collection of verbs. I home auditioned the NAD Masters Series M12 and the McIntosh D150 dac preamps. Both products sounded about the same. So I decided to take advantage of Jaguar&#039;s trial and step up to a higher price point. All I can say is the minute the first few notes of music hit my ears I was blown away. There really is a higher return on investment here and this unit is worth every penny. I later purchased the streaming network option. This package combined with a Roon/Tidal subscription is awesome and the Manhattan works perfectly with the Roon interface. The only gripe is they need to furnish their own remote control unit. The apple remote works fine but I have an apple TV so both units were responding to the same commands. Not a huge fan of the apple remote anyway. I got it figured out. Purchased a cheap universal remote and after trial and error finally found a code that would drive the Mytec and then sent the commands to my learning remote. Build quality is outstanding as expected at this price point and the guys at Jaguar are fantastic to work with.
